Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance



the putting the pin in the whole trick to opening the CD does not always
work.

it does not work on all PCs for some reason.

i lost a CD because of this trick.

the drive like swallowed my CD and i had to take a part the drive to get it
back.
